Hi All: I've read over the docs, but don't quite understand what the bind() event provides versus just assigning a particular event handler to a selected element (or set of elements).
For example, consider the code below. What's the difference between the interaction with the <p> elements of class "first", and the <p> elements of class "second"? Isn't the second bit effectively binding a click event handler to a specific batch of "p" elements just as the first one is? Just not grokking it. Would appreciate if anybody could enlighten me. <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js "></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('p.first').bind('click', function() { alert($(this).text()); }); $('p.second').click(function() { alert($(this).text()); }); }); </script> <p class="first">A</p> <p class="first">B</p> <p class="first">C</p> <p class="first">D</p> <p class="first">E</p> <hr /> <p class="second">F</p> <p class="second">G</p> <p class="second">H</p> <p class="second">I</p> <p class="second">J</p> -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
